Personal development

I process about 50 orders a day and manage 50 + price list agreements. I enjoy evaluating tenders and drafting contracts. Most challenging aspect is ensuring supplier deliver on time, have to follow up with suppliers all the time and frequently running out of stock and having to buy from another supplier in order to keep production going which defeats the purpose of implementing contracts.

Pros: Company is investing in our development in terms of experience and education
Cons: System is producing too much paperwork. Processes can be time consuim at times.

Great test of character

Great company to work for. Work hours are horrible though. It was a huge learning curve for me and great test of character. 90% of employees are not happy and feel stuck. Overtime is not paid and we take forced leave when ever management feels order book is low. Guys on the floor take excessive sick leave.

Pros: No strikes
Cons: Long hours for shift workers (76hours in one week)
